Question E36 Thermostat temp ?

Hi gang, glad to have found this group.

As seems all too common, I have an overheating issue with my 95 325i. Before bleeding the system I want to replace the thermostat. Only question is, what's the correct 'stat temp for my daily driver?

Also, there'a s hell of a lot of stat manufactures. I know there's some less then reliable products out there. Is there any one brand that I should be using?

the rec. stat temp is 192-195 degrees. Any good brand name stat will work - I've had good luck with the ones from Bavauto / pelican parts.

you can use any temp t-stat . depending on your setup and needs.
I use a 75degree, it stays really cools, but if you drive in the winter/cold weather you wont have much heat. the closer you are to 92(stock) the better your fuel economy will be.
theres 75, 81, 88 and 92 degree t-stats available.


up to you really.


change your water pump while your at it!!
